Felon in TX with DWI needs a Job

Mr. Mayo,

My sister is a convicted felon for the 2nd time for
DWI's. She lives in Angleton, Tx. She is a hard
worker. She has mainly done construction throughout her
lifetime but she is getting too old to continue this type of
work. She has been to the WorkSource numerous times and she
continues to look for employment; but she is getting really
discouraged. I have been online to find a list of company
names that hire convicted felons and have now wrote them down.

Is their anything else you can think of that might help her seek
gainful employment?

Thanks

I'm sorry your sister is having so much
trouble. The good news is that people with DWI get hired
everyday. It is my experience that people with DWI
tend to have more success finding jobs in the retail or
hospitality industries. Employers in these fields want
people who will be reliable and punctual.

Don't give up on the WorkSource in Texas. New
positions are added everyday. A counselor can show you how
to browse open positions from home if your are not already doing
so.

One last suggestion, when you find an opening you like, the
absolute worst thing you could is to lie on a job application your charge. I would just be completely honest
and in the interview explain the situation to the employer.
